The fabric may include fibres of a polyester formed from terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol and neopentyl glycol, or from a polyester formed from ethylene glycol and terephthalic and isophthalic acids, the molecular proportion of terephthalic to isophthalic acid in the polyester being 9 : 1. Fibres of polyethylene terephthalate and of wool may also be present, being relatively non-shrinkable fibres compared with the foregoing.  Specified swelling agents include # and #-phenylphenol, diphenyl, methylnaphthalene, trichlorobenzene or methyl salicylate. Treatment may be effected at 50-80‹ C., using 0À5 to 3g. of swelling agent per litre of treating liquid and after removal of the swelling agent the fabric may be subjected to a further shrinkage treatment suitably on a stenter, at a temperature above 100‹ C.  Examples illustrate the treatment of (i) fabric woven from yarns containing 25% by weight of an ethylene terephthalate/isophthalate (9 : 1), polymer in staple fibre form with 50% by weight of polyethylene terephthalate staple fibres and 25% by weight of wool fibres, the latter two fibres being the relatively non- shrinkable fibres; (ii) fabric woven from yarn containing 25% by weight of stable fibres made from (a) 19 : 1 and (b) 39 : 1 ethylene terephthalate/isophthalate polymers blended with 50% by weight of polyethylene terephthalate fibres and 25% by weight of wool fibres.

Abstract: 1,200,435. Automatic voltage control. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. Feb.26, 1969 [March 1, 1968], No.10263/69. Heading G3R. [Also in Division H2] The output voltage at terminals 4, 5 of an A.C./ D.C. converter is fed back to provide an input to a control unit 6 which controls the firing of a rectifier 3 (e.g. thyristor) accordingly and maintains the output voltage constant. Sudden surges may cause oscillations in filter network L7, L8, C9, C10 thereby causing instability of the control unit 6. To overcome this the said input is modified by a negative feedback voltage phase shifted by 180 degrees to any A.C. component in the filter output and thus to any control oscillation. This latter voltage is derived from the filter network by a second winding on choke L8, Correct proportioning of the two feedback voltages is provided by potentiometers 11, 12 and resistor 13.

[Also in Division G1] An electromagnetically actuated valve comprises an annular or E-shaped magnetizable core 31 enclosing a coil 2 and provided with an inlet 3, the flow through which is controlled by a non-magnetizable valve member 46 carried by a magnetizable armature 37. The armature is supported at the centre of a diaphragm 47, the latter being located at its periphery between non-magnetizable annular members 41, 42. Non-magnetizable pins 38, 38<SP>1</SP> define an air gap 6. In the absence of any fluid or magnetic forces, the valve member 46 seats against the end of passage 45. In use, progressive energization of the coil 2 increases the back-pressure at inlet 3. Ring 41 carries an outlet 15. In Fig. 2, not shown, the diaphragm is omitted and the armature is supported by spring (17) into contact with a non-magnetizable pad (52) having grooves (53). In Fig. 3, not shown, non- magnetizable screws (137) in the armature abut the core to define the air gap and the valve member is carried by a screw (147) threaded into the armature. The valve member or the seat may be adjusted for calibration purposes. In an application (Fig. 4) the valve (71) is located downstream of a relief valve (66) and is variably energized to control pressure in line (65). In a modification, the pressure drop across valve (66) is compensated by a valve (81) downstream of valve (71) and responding to the pressures downstream of the latter and downstream of restriction (85) in main line (86). In Fig. 6, the valve is energized by a pulse generator (see Division G1) to control an hydraulic ram applying cyclic tensile or compressive loads to a testpiece via a piston.
